Him referring to you as a dude could mean he's really comfortable around you a total plus, riiight? It could also just be a word that he uses all the time. We're all dudes, hey! But if say a guy you're really into or you're "seeing" calls you "dude," wouldn't that stop you in your tracks? So let's talk about it. Boys, why do you call us girls "dudes? Want more from Dara? Thread starter yukinohana Start date Feb 17, Hello, friends, When a girl talks to a bunch of guys, can she use"dude I found it when men talk to men, they use "dude","man", "boys", "ya" I'm not sure if girls can use those words to address men too, and also, what should a girl address to a bunch of girls?
Appreciate your help. I've heard women on television addressing guys as "dude". I don't know whether there's a similar word when addressing a group of women. I would use caution with this word, however. It has become very dated and cliched. She could certainly say "dudes," even when talking to a group of girls.

LowKey i mean like Hey dude! What r u up to? Using like this. Oh okay okay. Example: Yo!! That was insane Damn!! That was Insane Dude, that was insane. We still use dude to refer to girls. I'm a girl and i would say to my other female friends "dude I found a gnarly trail yesterday, we should for sure scope it out yeah?
Oh and never ever say dudette. You'll get the worst look for trying to be a surfer poser. And no one really says 'chica' either in cali so i wouldn't suggest that. But i mean if you visit norcal, at least, just stick with your native slang, we love people's phrases from other places, especially if you're from England, its a mutual love for each other yeah? California loves England, England loves California. Or else don't use any name, just say "pass me the sauce" instead of "dude or brah pass me the brew".
Brah is also super commonly used, typically between bros but some stoner chicks use it too. Just adding this as a historical curiosity, not a present-day suggestion. I've used chick or chica on ocassion for this purpose. Lately if it's someone I know extremely well and am close to I'll use hooker but I think that won't last too long before it gets old.
Dude, as a colloquial term of address, is gender-neutral. It's also somewhat familiar. That tells me dude is rather common, relatively. The people who thought Stewart was being too familiar were largely older, or more formal generally, or in the press and found it a breach of etiquette.
I am so used to hearing people address each other as dude, I didn't even notice! The first time I was addressed as dude, I was an adult, and this was about fifteen years ago.
Since I am female, it hit my ear wrong. The guy yes, guy who called me "dude" said it was a term of endearment, so that put me at ease. Then I heard it more often and from other people.
Like I said, I don't think about it anymore. If you've been hearing it for thirty years and it still hits your ear as exclusively male, maybe that will never change.
But the kids these days, they pretty much use it as gender-neutral. A female equivalent would have to be both familiar and common. I don't think there is a word that perfectly fits that. Don't say it to someone you don't know. Don't even think of saying that to a stranger. I would never call a guy "chico". So, sorry, I think you'll have to get used to calling women "dude". But hey, I did, so there's hope. Why not just "girl?
